ARSim IFR

Access to the IFR comms training content and airport database of the PlaneEnglish Aviation Radio Simulator, ARSim.

Access includes BASICS mode, IFR mode, TRAINER mode and airport database of nearly 300 airports.

In BASICS mode, users can learn and practice the foundations of aviation radio communication, from the pronunciation of numbers, the phonetic alphabet, and the phraseology for making requests and reading back clearances and instructions. In this mode, there are 88 lessons organized into eight modules that gradually expose pilots to aviation phraseology and radio procedures.

In IFR mode, users can learn and practice most of the aviation communication phraseology and procedures that they may encounter during an IFR flight. In this mode, there are 92 lessons organized into eight modules that cover all IFR phases of flight: clearance requests, departures, enroute, approaches, and landing.

In TRAINER mode, users can take advantage of a built-in training curriculum to advance through increasingly complex levels to train in all phases of IFR flight. Advancement to higher levels requires passing Stage Checks, which serve as an assessment of users' radio proficiency and offer the opportunity to earn your radio proficiency wings.

Once you complete the purchase you will receive an email with the access key and instructions for activating it on your device. The timer on your access will begin only when you activate your access.

When the access has expired, you can simply purchase another access key to continue your training.

If you are interested in or need the more in-depth description of aviation radiotelephony, head over to our website or store and take a look at our comms manual, The Easy Route to Aviation Radio Proficiency. The manual covers radio communications you are likely to encounter under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions. It is designed to teach you aviation phraseology and enable you to practice what you learn by calling out practice lessons in ARSim for every concept.
